Speaking to MailOnline a representative for the reality star explained that she got into a row with Wilkes who was acting as compere for the auction hosted by the Donna Louise Trust Ball on Friday night in Stoke-On-Trent.

An eyewitness had previously told the MailOnline that 'Jonathan Wilkes has been involved in the ball for years and she really had a pop at him and when ladies tried to step in she pushed them away.

'The whole room was watching and there was about 500 people there. Jonathan got back on stage after the incident and said that he’s never had that in all the years he’s been hosting the event.

As video obtained by The Sun shows, Dawn and another woman got into a heated row off stage, with Dawn seen pushing away while exchanging insults with Jonathan before the Real Housewives star walked off.

Her representative explained to MailOnline: 'Dawn arrived at the event late as she had a work commitment. She jumped in the car and hadn't had drop of alcohol.'

'She was sat at the tale, the auction started. She was talking to friends saying how she could donate a prize from her company Sculpt, a non-surgical company. She had got the price up to £5,000 so she went over and tried to tell him [Wilkes] and offer the prize.'

'It was quite complicated to explain to him while he was on stage so she sat back down, Dawn didn't ask to take the microphone but then he said "nobody's here to steal my thunder."'

'A lady tried to step in grabbing her arms quite aggressively so Dawn pushed free to leave the situation.'

'Surely it's about money for the charity rather than anyone's ego? She admits she got frustrated, but there were insults coming both ways, it was quite aggressive.'

Walked out: Dawn claims Wilkes 'was more interested in his ego than the charity'

'She was trying to explain why she was angry but he was more interested in his ego than the charity. He said he could have her chucked out but she told him "I'm leaving anyway".'

A representative for Jonathan Wilkes has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

Dawn has four daughters (Darby, Taylor, Charlie and Aston) who she shares with her footballer husband Ashley.

Dawn and former Manchester City star Ashley met when she was a young model in a car park in Bolton, and the Liz Hurley lookalike admits that she originally went on a date with him to make her ex-boyfriend jealous.

However, the pair hit it off and Ashley asked her to marry him five years later - in the very same car park. She has starred on RHOC since 2015.
